ence stated that A. T. Kiblan had pur
chased the George Brinn building and
adjoining lots. We learn from Mr.

belongs to Mr. JJrinn.
One of the most pitiful cases that
has come before the County Court
for some time, occurred Wednesday,
when Mrs. Albertina Crandall was
examined by physicians and adjudged
insane. For the past two or three
years her husband, George Crandall,
has spent a fortune endeavoring to
benefit her, without avail. She lived
on their ranch near Clatskanie, with
a grandparent and two young grand
children, her husband being a doep
sea diver, was forced to spend a
great share of his time away from his
family. Mrs. Crandall, who Is 43
years of age, would be of a rational
mind for days at a time, when she
would become hysterical, and very
violent. She was taken to the Oregon
State Hospital at Sulem yesterday.
The McCormlck steamer Klamath
loaded with hardwood ties and pine
apples at Honolulu for San Pedro,
will make a voyage to Central Amer
ica as fur as Acajutla, on her return
trip.
The exposition is to have another
bird-mau. The contract with Art
Smith, the Chicago boy whose daring
stunts have thrilled countless thous
ands the past three months, has ex
pired, and he desires to go east. It
will be remembered that Lincoln
Heachoy was killed by the buckling
of his machine in a tremendous down
ward swo'op and that he and his ma
chine were burled in mud forty feet
beneath the surface of the water. His
special stunt was to ascend to very
great heights sometimes out of
sight, and then drop straight down
ward. Art Smith never goes more
than two or three thousand feet high.
and his specialty is a little matter of
turning over and over, loop after
loop, upside down and wrong-side out
and writing words across the sky, the
smoke from his engine leaving the
word clearly outlined in the sky.

REINS ARE GIVEN
TO CANTINE
State Kngineer I -owls Threatens.
Suit Engineer and leputy May
Not Work Harmoniously.
Governor Withycombe and State
Treasurer Kay voted to issue orders.
Secretary Olcott not voting, inform
ing State Engineer Lewis that Mr
Cantine would be in charge of all
new highway construction work, that
they had no objection to his being in
charge of any contract work made
by the former administration.
This action was taken Tuesday
after State Engineer Lewis had noti
fied the State Highway Commission
that if the board still adhered to its
ruling that Mr. Cantine was to be 'the
active highway engineer, suit would
be filed to determine the issue.
It is said that thus far the State
Eugineer and Chief Deputy have
worked together, but it is feared this
action will cause more or less trouble
in road work.
"Mr. Cantine, hereafter you must
report to the board on all new road
work. We recognixe you as the head
of the road work under the board.
You are the one to be in charge of
the new work," said Governor Withy
combe. v
Mr. Lewis stated after the meeting
that he would continue to act as
State Highway Engineer until the
courts ruled otherwise.

INTERVENTION.
Columbia City. Ore., Aug. 11, 1915
Editor St. Helens Mist The ar
ticle published in the Mist of July 18.
from the report of the army and
navy board on the cost of interven
tion in Mexico for the first year,
ought to be closely studied and ana
lyzed by every Jingo before declaring
himself for intervention in Mexico.
Who are the unseen forces who are
pushing this intervention war tulk
about Mexico? First, corporation
Interest In Mexico, who want to con
tinue to hire peon labor at fifteen to
twenty-five cents per day. Second
manufacturers of munitions of war
And, third, financiers, who want P.
S. bonds.
"Nigger in the wood pile" official
figures show that there is a total of
1200,000,000 Mexican gold Invested
in Mexican oil wells; of that sum
$100,000,000 is American capital;
$75,000,000 Is English capital, with
the puny $25,000,000 remaining dl
vlded betwecu French, German and
Mexican capital.
Cost of intervention for one year:
500,000 selected .men for one year,
exposed to Mexican bullets and trop
ical fevers. 75.000 Americans either
killed, crippled or impaired lu health
Slaughtering of more Mexicans in
one year than there has been killed
in the last three years. The above
named losses could not be paid for
with money.
Cost in money to the laboring peo
ple of the I'nited States:
War expense, $800,000,000; 500,
000 men's laboring time for one year,
$400,000,000; pension to disabled
soldiers, estimated 40,000 men for
twenty years. $100,000,000; grand
total, $1,300,000,000 expense to sad
dle on the laboring people of the
I'nited States.
$1,300,000,000 would buy 26.
000.000,000 loaves of bread, or
! enough loaves to reach a little more
than nineteen times around the earth,
if placed end to end. Are the labor
ing people so overstocked with the
necessaries of life that they can af
ford to waste so much human en
ergy? O. HENRY OLE EN.
